Description
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. In versions prior to 0.6.52, the Fill Text Template block is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. While the backend implements a SandboxedEnvironment to prevent unauthorized attribute access (e.g., blocking __class__), it fails to limit the computational complexity or execution time of the expressions. An attacker can input computationally expensive Python/Jinja2 expressions that consume the server's CPU and memory, leading to a complete system hang or crash. In multi-tenant or self-hosted environments, this results in a complete service outage and "noisy neighbor" effects that require manual administrative intervention to recover. This issue has been fixed in version 0.6.52.

AI Analysis

Impact

AutoGPT prior to 0.6.52 allows users to supply computationally expensive Python/Jinja2 expressions to the Fill Text Template block. The backend sandboxing blocks unauthorized attribute access, but does not limit execution time or algorithmic complexity. An attacker can submit such expressions, causing excessive CPU and memory usage that can freeze or crash the server, resulting in a complete service outage and noisy‑neighbor effects.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of Significant‑Gravitas AutoGPT with versions earlier than 0.6.52, regardless of deployment model, including self‑hosted or multi‑tenant environments.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates a high impact with medium to high exploitation difficulty. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so the likelihood of exploitation is currently unknown but the potential impact is significant. The attack vector is inferred to be local or remote input to the Fill Text Template block, where an attacker can submit malicious expressions that will consume server resources until the process fails or is terminated.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AutoGPT to version 0.6.52 or later to apply the vendor patch that limits expression complexity and execution time, addressing the resource exhaustion weakness (CWE‑400).
  • Configure operating‑system or container resource limits to cap CPU and memory usage for the AutoGPT process, reducing the impact of any unexpected resource consumption.
  • Disable or restrict usage of the Fill Text Template block in production environments until the patch is applied, or monitor template submissions for unusually large or complex expressions.
